Paper Summary:

Susan Glaspell's "A Jury of Her Peers" and Malcolm Gladwell's "Listening to Khakis" both deal with how men and women process information differently. The paper shows that Glaspell's story-written in 1917-focuses on the woman's perspective regarding a murder case, while Gladwell's 1997 article looks at how a man processes information through an examination of advertising.

From the Paper:

"Men find the details of the house quite meaningless because they cannot see how the details would aid them in their search to understand the motive of Mrs. Wright. The women eventually take the clues, the birdcage, irregular quilting, personal knowledge of Mr. Wright, and discover the motive Mrs. Wright had for killing her husband. The men could not see those clues."
